CLEVELAND, OH - April 21, 2012 - The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard/forward D.J. Kennedy from the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League for the remainder of the 2011-12 season, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced today. The signing of Kennedy marks the 58th GATORADE Call-Up of the 2011-12 season. He will wear no. 12.

The numbers bear it out: The Knicks just can’t beat the Cavaliers at The Q.

It’s not to say that they haven’t beaten the Wine and Gold in Cleveland. They just haven’t done so since Kyrie Irving was in grade school.

As they have in the previous nine meetings on the North Coast, the Cavaliers blindsided their Big Apple counterparts – essentially going wire-to-wire with the aforementioned Irving leading the way to the 98-90 win on Friday night at The Q.

(On tonight’s game): “Needless to say, it was a great win. I thought, defensively, it was one of our best defensive efforts. I told the guys at halftime (that) I just wanted them to continue to compete and sustain that as long as they could and see if we can do it for 48 minutes and we pretty much did. It was just a good effort.”
